Marcus Rashford to Barcelona transfer talk is hotting up once again as the Catalans look to add a left winger to the squad in time for the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n
Nico Williams has decided to stay at Athletic,<\/a> while Luis Diaz is too expensive, meaning Rashford is once again on the agenda for Barca.<\/p>\n A new update on the situation has been provided and suggests that Rashford will have to take a drastic pay cut if he is to move.<\/p>\n Rashford is thought to earn around \u00a3350,000 a week at Manchester United but would have to slash that by 40% if he is to get his \u2018dream\u2019 move to Barcelona.<\/p>\n Working with my colleagues @gol<\/a> and @albertfc11<\/a>, we can confirm that Barcelona are advancing their efforts to sign Marcus Rashford. Wages would need to be reduced by up to 40%, with a loan move remaining a desire. A mandatory purchase clause is a priority. #MUFC<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Zc5yz7MjYM<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Shaun Connolly (@shaunconnolly85) July 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Any initial transfer would be a loan but potentially with a mandatory purchase option built into the deal.<\/p>\n Rashford spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa, and the deal did include a \u00a340 million purchase option, but the Villans opted not to take it up.<\/p>\n
